An outgoing German lady who I met at the guesthouse in Cape Town invited me to join her on a day trip to Hermanus, the town 130 km east of Cape Town where you can spot whales, in season. As it turned out, she was hilarious, and very quirky in a California / New Age kind of way, and I had a blast!
Topics we discussed included:
1) How aliens have interacted with people and modified human DNA
2) How aliens have implanted bits of unknown metal in people who have had alien encounters
3) How everyone chooses their own parents. A baby born with congenital abnormalities has chosen to be born that way for a specific purpose.
4) How people who are poor and people who suffer merely lack sufficient consciousness . With proper consciousness, they would acquire the health / material goods they lack.
We had lots to talk about. I love the fact that you can meet all kinds of characters on the road and, as you can tell, I'm definitely more tolerant when I don't have to spend every day with he same characters!
Hermanus has a great cliff walk
where you can spot rock dassies, who are famously cousin to the elephant, and a beautiful beach, Grotto Beach.
Books read: A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore.
woah, what wild conversations with your fellow traveler, i would have loved to been part of that. whats going to happen when she finds your blog and reads what you wrote about her? wait, that already happened to you on this trip! haha.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha. I really loved the German lady--she had some crazy ideas but she was outgoing and lively and she had this weird skill of knowing what is the very best thing to order on the menu. I wish I had that talent!
